There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Imaging Chemical Reactions Inside Living Cells
School Colloquium
Cellular health depends on a countless number of chemical reactions. Recent developments in microscopy, materials science, and molecular biology have created a unique opportunity to understand the chemical reactions essential to cellular function by directly imaging biomolecules as they perform their normal functions within the cell. Research in the Payne Lab is focused on both understanding intracellular chemical reactions and developing new methods for imaging dynamic events within live cells. This seminar will discuss the intracellular degradation of low-density lipoprotein probed with two-color single particle tracking fluorescence microscopy and the role of serum proteins in mediating nanoparticle-cell interactions.
